To al? whom 2125 may concern.:

Be 1t known that I, ROBERT GOOD, a citizen of the United States,residing at Poughkeepsie, in the'county'of Dutchess and-State of NewYork, have inventedcert-ain new and useful Improvements in Jar or BottleReceivers; and'Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the lnvention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Myinvention relates to devices for preserving the shape of jars, bottlesand other glass vessels in finished form or as they are separated fromthe glass-blowers pipe, before they become cool and entirely rigid; andthe obJects of my invention are, first to provide a form o r pocket of adiameter and shape correspondlng to the glass vessel to be placed in 1t,and thus obviate the necessity ot' rolling the Jar or bottle in theordinary way; second, to arrange these pockets so that they may beconveniently moved from the position where they receive the vessel infinished form or from the blow-pipe, to a point where it may be carriedto the annealing chamber in the usual Way; and third, to combine withthe movable jar or bottle-holder an upright T, or an equivalent cut-oft'blade, for severing the glass stem connecting the vessel with theblowplpe. I attain these objects by the device illustrated in theaccompanying drawings in which- Figure l, is a perspective Viewof myentire devlce, arranged, as is usually convenient, to rest upon thefloor. Fig. 2, is a side elevation of the same, showing it as supportedfrom above, one of the pockets, being represented 1n sect1on, containinga bottle, and the other containing a jar with the blow-over as cut efffrom the blow-pipe; and Fig. 3, is also a side elevation of the sameshowing it as supported from the side by a bracket.

Simllar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In the drawings A represents the tube or sleeve in which the supportingrod B, rotates and is held in place by the shoulder b, resting upon theupper end of A. Upon this movable support may be placed any desirednumber of forms or pockets, preferably two on each side of the centraldivision strip D, and inclining whether they be curved or angular.

enough toward D to prevent the vessel from being displaced by themovement of the jar or bottle-holder. These pockets O, may be of metalor any suitable material and should be made to conform in size and shapewith the glass vessels, for which they are to be used They arepreferably constructed with interior escape openings c, at the lowestpoint adjoining the division strip D, to permit them to be readily freedfrom bits of glass and easily cleaned. The pockets may be lined withasbestus or any suitable substance to prevent the danger of crackingwhen the hot glass vessels are first placed in them.

lhe movable device as above described may be supported by the baseM,'the pendent N, or the bracket O, as shown in Figs. l, 2, and 3respectively, according to the conveniences .of location and may be madeto rotate vertically as well as horizontally. At the proper height anddistance from the pockets O, I place a T-shaped cut-off composed of thesupport E and the blade F. The cut-off may be connected with thesupports M or O, as shown in Figs. l and 3, orentirelyseparate asrepresented in Fig. 2; and it is not necessarily restricted to the Tform shown.

The simple operation of my device will be readily seen by reference toFig. l. The glassblower having formed his vessel of the desired size andshape, deposits it in one of the pockets C, and severs the connectingstem upon F. A helper standing opposite turns the filled pocket towardhimself and quickly removes the Vglass vessel with his fork or otherimplement and thus brings the empty pockets into position to be filledby the glass-blowers. In the manufacture of bottles also, my device maybe used to receive the bottles as they come from the finisher, forpreserving their shape while hot.

Hitherto it has been necessary to provide a helper to roll upon theordinary rolling board each jar or bottle before it is rigid enough tobe safely carried by other helpers upon their forks or paddles to theannealing chamber.

It will readily be seen that my device byA receiving the hot glassvessel in a pocket corresponding to it in size and form prevents anyvariation in shape, without the need of rolling it, and thus does awaywith the cost, involved IOO under the old method, in employing so muchmore labor.

Heving thusldeseribed my invention; vvhat I claim; and desire to secureby Letters Pat- 5 ent, is-

l. A jar or bottle receiver comprising one or more series of pocketsadapted in size and form to receive andhold glass vesselsu after;finishing or as they come from the blow-pipe, Io mounted upon a supportto be rotated as and for the purpose described. f
